It was a day for all the Dads out there (and of course those who play the role of Dad) on Father’s Day last Sunday. The Byford & Districts Country Club once again pulled out all stops to throw down a Father’s Day like you’ve never seen before.
Once again, the weather really turned it on as hundreds of Dads, family in tow, descended upon the Club from mid-morning to take part in the BDCC’s #TeamDad Father’s Day events. With thousands of dollars up for Grabs all Day it was a day custom built for the dads.
BDCC commercial operations manager Ray Carey said that the club was inundated with interest for the event.
“We really did a few special and novel things on the day such as our footy barrel kick competition and our golf hole in one competition” he said..
“We took out part of the fence, set up some of our infamous barrels, that members will remember from many of our events, and handed over the footy. There were some ordinary kicks, some really close kicks and a many laughs were had. We really enjoyed putting on Father’s Day this year and can’t wait to get into next year’s event” he added.
Member Cam Wilson took out 1st Place, and walked away with $500, for being the first to kick the footy the required 40 metres and land it in the Barrel. Another member Adam Smith came in a hot second and cleaned up $250 for having a kick.

The Golf Swing was somewhat more challenging. “We didn’t think it would take as long as it did. In the end we had to alter the target to get a winner” food & beverage operations manager Scott Farrell said. Grant Peatling cleaned up $500 for closest to the pin for the day.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Father’s Day 2018, gave the Dads a chance to get back at the kids for all those early morning sports days. One by one kids were marched up to the Dunk Tank as Dads around the Club were warming up their throwing arms. Hit the Bulls eye and the kids went swimming. We call it pay back (although somehow a few Dads went in too).

With Live Music keeping the crowds entertained, #TeamDad Father’s day 2018 at the BDCC was certainly a unique experience, well enjoyed by all.
